Why Report Designer run in new window on taskbar Windows?

rbuser

Hello, I'm upgrading from Report Buidel 6.02 to 7.04!
First impression is very good! Fixed many AV and Errors,
but I have questions:

ppDesigner1.ShowModal was showing in new window (icon) on taskbar window
together with icon of my application (Project1)

Why?
How to fix it?:
I to run ppDesigner1.ShowModal in one window on taskbat with my application

Thanks,
Nikolai Bochkarev

Hi Nikolai,

We made the decision to add the designer to the taskbar for RB 7 from the
many requests of other users. In RB 6, if you minimize the designer window
with other windows active, it is sometimes difficult to re-locate the
designer if you would like to use it again. Placing it in the task bar
seemed to solve this issue. However, as you probably know, it is hard to
please everyone . If you would like to revert back to the way RB 6 worked
you will need to comment out one line of code in the RB source.

In the ppDsIntf.pas file, comment out the following line of code from the
TppComponenetDesigner.CreateParams method.

Params.ExStyle := Params.ExStyle or WS_EX_APPWINDOW;

The same will occur for the Report Explorer unless you comment out the same
line of code located in the ppExpFrm.pas file.
